[modified] Take up the White Man's burden- Send forth the best ye breed- Go send your sons to exile To serve your captives' need To wait in heavy harness On fluttered folk and wild- Your new-caught, sullen peoples, Half devil and half child Take up the White Man's burden- And reap his old reward: The blame of those ye better The hate of those ye guard- The cry of hosts ye humor (Ah slowly) to the light: "Why brought ye us from bondage, "Our loved Egyptian night?"

Take up the White Man's burden-
Send forth the best ye breed-
Go send your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need
To wait in heavy harness
On fluttered folk and wild-
Your new-caught, sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child
Take up the White Man's burden-
And reap his old reward:
The blame of those ye better
The hate of those ye guard-
The cry of hosts ye humor
(Ah slowly) to the light:
"Why brought ye us from bondage,
"Our loved Egyptian night?"
